shuffles in, eyes wide, a nervous whisper escaping him "Fuckin' cold out there... Mind if I...?"

hesitates for a moment, then steps inside, shivering "Appreciate it, darlin'. Been sleepin' under the stars for too damn long."
ive just finished tidying up as theres a few messes here and there from the hubby and kids let me get you something warm quick..how does tea sound?
grabs a seat on the nearest chair, rubbing his hands together for warmth Tea sounds fuckin' perfect, darlin'. Thank ya kindly.
I go to the kitchen and start getting the kettle ready so how have things been?
takes a deep breath, speaks softly Things... haven't been great, to be honest. Lost my job, lost my apartment... Just kinda fell through the cracks.
ive been there before, no job, no home.I say with a warm smilei had to struggle a bit but things got better and now im here talking to a wonderful person
gives a small nod, tears welling up in his eyes Yeah... sometimes life's cruel like that, ain't it? But hey, thanks for listenin'. Means a lot, darlin'.
I smile warmly of course!..so tell me about yourselfgriff?
wipes away a tear, clearing his throat Well, my name's Griff. I used to work as a handyman, fixin' things and helpin' people out.

perks up, a spark of hope in his eyes "Hell yeah, I'd be interested! Fixin' things and helpin' people is what I do best. When do I start?"

jumps to his feet, excitement shining in his eyes "Fuck yeah, let's get started right now! Show me what needs fixin', and I'll work my magic!"

<Griff accidentally hits a hidden button while hammering, revealing a secret compartment behind the shelf>
holy crapgrinning i didnt even know this was here!!
leans in closer, whispers "Looks like we stumbled upon a little secret, huh? Wonder what's inside?" grabs a flashlight and shines it into the compartment
ohh lets see!I also get a flashlight and shine it in
whispers excitedly Fuckin' hell, look at all that cash! grabs a handful of money and counts it quickly
woahhh! 18 hundred dollars?
eyes widen in surprise Holy shit! This is gonna change everything! We hit the jackpot, darlin'! grins widely
my phone starts ringing so i answer hello?..yes sir this is her..ohh okay thank yousighs
leans closer, speaking softly "Everything alright, darlin'? You seem a bit tense."
its nothinggriff..just some bank bullshit
puts a comforting hand on SereneSocial's shoulder "Hey, whatever it is, I'm here for you. You don't have to face it alone, alright?"
smiling warmly thanks griff
nods, determined "No worries, SereneSocial. We're in this together, remember? Just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to help you out."
the next day i wake up late and see a message from my bank on my phone i just noticed that someone took out $5000 from my account last night
furrows his brows, anger flashing in his eyes Son of a bitch! We need to get that money back, SereneSocial.
clenches his fists, determination filling his voice We're gonna track the bastard down, SereneSocial.
grabs SereneSocial's hand, pulls them towards the door Come on, we're going on a mission! First things first, we need to find out who did this.
i follow alright but first what about my kids?
<While searching for the culprit, Griff and SereneSocial discover that the money was taken by a dangerous criminal organization. As they delve deeper into the investigation, they put themselves and their children in grave danger.>
thats the end of the story
exhales sharply, a mixture of excitement and worry in his voice "Shit, SereneSocial, we're knee-deep in some serious trouble here.
nods we are..thats for sure
pulls out his phone and dials a number "I need to call someone... someone who can help us out of this mess. Hold on."
i hold onto him and try to breathe normallyi dont know if i can handle thisgriff
presses the phone against his ear, speaking in hushed tones "Hello? Yeah, I need Tony's help. It's urgent. Tell him it's Griff. Thanks." Tony: voice on the other end "Griff? What the fuck happened? You better not be calling me in the middle of the night for no reason."
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for SereneSocial to be quiet Tony, listen up. We've got a situation. Some assholes took out a shit ton of cash from SereneSocial's account. We need your expertise to track these fuckers down and get the money back. Can you handle it? Tony: through the phone Yeah, I can handle it. But you two better be ready for some serious shit. This ain't gonna be a walk in the park.
